Misti & Jim getting another check. But still not good.
Brooke & Robbie transporting fish into the bucket... Robbie thinks they got it... Robbie is telling a story about handling fish because he used to have a goldfish. :lol: "I know the fish are dead but they're happy with the way I'm throwing them into a bucket." WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING? :funny: They finish the detour in 1st. Proceed to Naic Rice Fields.
Adam & Bethany finish the detour in 2nd!
Jim has no idea what's wrong. Their shock is still wrong. Jim: "Almost Copenhagen all over again."
Commercial.
YAWN at no RB for their precious Bethany again :res:
The good thing is Amy and Maya finally finished in 2nd after 10 legs. :funny::lol: finally
NO ROADBLOCK IN PHILIPPINES? I TAKE OFFENCE !!!!
The Wrestlers sadly hit a final 4 speed bump next leg, even after a preciously great lead. :'(
Now I don't want to take a guess around, but history does speak for itself on how a team that hit a speed bump in final 4 always ends up. Hmm hmm?!
Just realized something: If Amy/Maya read the clue properly, would they have had a clear shot for 1st?
Just realized something: If Amy/Maya read the clue properly, would they have had a clear shot for 1st?I adore them, but I believe Amy & Maya still would have gotten 2nd. They had trouble at the side-carriage assembly Detour.

Don't you think that the chat at the mat with Phil when all four teams were there seemed awkward? Phil asks who will be the winner and all we get is a weird look from the dentists and a declaration from Amy & Maya that they want to be another all girl team to win TAR? I don't like the editing of that - seems to me like scientists are next to be eliminated or the winners. If any of that wouldn't be the truth it will be just odd to leave that conversation in the episode...
Love the episode! :hearts: It wasn't the best, but it's still better than TAR24 in my opinion, or it could've been a leg in TAR24. Looks really good. :hrt:
~Awww for no roadblock, but the switchback made up for it. :conf:
~Both sides of the detour were good. :luvya: The fishing one would've been meh, but noting the factors that it's heavy, the water is so polluted, transferring the fish looks annoying, and more, the task was difficult enough. :conf: The easier one was slower, so the detour is just balanced imo. :)
~Yay switchback! :conf: :conf: :conf: Poor Brooke for picking the wrong pond.
~Maya talking about the jeepney was so funny. :funny: I like that! It's so memorable. :funny:
~Brooke & Robbie whining just makes me continue liking them. :funny:
~By the way, the ARIs that are speculated to be roadblocks can be done in one arm (I think). :umn:
~Now to hide some whining that I have to make:Show contentIf what I saw from the preview was correct, there's a place there where it is 2-3 minutes away from my house, and I wasn't at my house that time.

Funny I actually started watching tar around season 16 so I am not really fond of the season prior to that. But regardless, I was just pointing out that Brooke and Robbie would be at disadvantage by having a speed bump in the next leg. Statistically speaking, there wouldn't be so many teams that could fall behind with only a few left in the race. Add a speedbump into it, you get yourself a perfect leg scenario. :funny:
and by looking at your list, the most recent 4 teams who had a speedbump in leg11 got the boot eventually. I don't necessarily think that the speed bump were the cause of most of their eliminations though.
It's just me. I was never really a fan of a NEL in final 4. It takes the suspense. I mean when you go from leg 9 to leg 10 with 4 teams left, well you kinda figure something out, right lol. So don't really bother.
Tbh, I feel that this is the worst leg this season. A lack of a Roadblock, a proper pit stop and a lame bike recreating Detour.this
The only thing which delivered was the fish Detour.

I'm not a fan of F4 NELs either, but I think they have to do that to... maybe add the suspense on Leg 9? If TAR takes away F4 NELs, Leg 9 F5s will always be NELs, and I think the suspense is taken away too by that time.
As for the last 4 F4-NEL eliminations above... only TAR16's speedbump cost the team their race. The chances of having the speedbump eliminating the F4 team depends. ??? If their placement gets affected like Misti & Jim back in the Moroccan leg, then the speedbump is... effective. Tim & Te Jay's speedbump didn't make them fall to last, but it was a different task that kicked them out of the race. And IIRC, the last 3 F4-NEL eliminations were similar to what happened to T&TJ.
Anyway, if a speedbump made a team fall to last, then the speedbump would cost them the race. :)
